Perspective




Many apologies for the lack of credits, but I can't seem to find the name of the photographer.


Came across another photo that seems to be extremely popular:

Laurent Dejente



First seen via Smashing Magazine


Considering the wide variety of websites that took the liberty of re-publishing the photo above, I couldn't believe how long it took for me to find out who the photographer was.

But ah, happy sleuthing indeed, as it turns out the photo is from Dejente's series Torticolis. Can't seem to find a good write-up in English, but his other series Stations is rather similar.

Images and biography from Galerie Le Réverbère, Lyon.









Laurent Dejente was born in Sedan on October 2, 1961. He lives and works between Lille and Marseille.

Having recently moved to Lille, Laurent Dejente took part in the 2005 edition of the Transphotographiques festival, then exhibited at Le Réverbère gallery during the Lyon Contemporary Art Biennale, presenting his new series, Stations, which revolutionizes conventional perception and destabilizes the perceptual framework of our organization of reality. "In this latest work, in addition to a critical reflection on the artificiality of nature and the dehumanization of the subject, Laurent Dejente's photography attains the status of a bewitching, fantastic tale—it becomes mythology.
